Serious Need of Mr. Boroujerdi to Visit Independent Doctor

Despite the pursuit of human rights
organizations and individuals, Mr. Boroujerdi’s physical condition and health
have been reported to be poor. This prisoner of conscience, who is spending the
tenth year of his 11-year sentence in Evin's prison solely because of his
peaceful views, is suffering from various diseases such as heart and
respiratory diseases and also osteoporosis, because of being deprived of
medical care and adequate food, and being under torture during his detention,
and Still deprived of medical services.Whereas, Amnesty International
called on the Iranian regime in a statement on 25 September 2015 to reconsider
the inhuman conditions of detention of prisoners immediately that is common in
many Iranian prisons, and to provide medical treatment to prisoners in
accordance with international human rights standards and to give medical leave
to those prisoners who need special treatment. Mr. Boroujerdi has not yet been
given the necessary medical treatment and even in February 2014, prison’s
doctors have stated that this prisoner should be admitted in a hospital outside
the prison [The regime has prevented it].

His family Contacted Special
Clerical Court and objected regime’s decision that prevented him to be transferred to
the hospital for treatment, and asked at least to provide the heart medication
to this prisoner who have been deprived of treatment, but officials refused medication
and even have threatened them because of tracking his status. The Special
Clerical Court officials claimed that medication and treatment for this
prisoner, is subject to changing his positions against the supreme leader.

Mr. Boroujerdi's family demand an
independent doctor to visit him and to do medical examination and treatment
under the supervision of international organizations.
